Some More Greyhawk Heraldry

Last year I used Inkwell Idea's wonderful Coat of Arms Visual Designer to come up with some .png files of heraldry from the World of Greyhawk. These have the advantage of being sharp and scalable, which often isn't the case with scans from the books. Now I've got the pro version and have been doing some more work in it, finishing up the images in GIMP when needed (such as adding the Iron League's signature fret in the upper-right corner). Here are the results...

I'm working off the images on the inside cover of the Guide to the World of Greyhawk Fantasy Setting from 1983 (the Gold Box). So these are the designs from CY 576. Some of them were changed as WotC advanced the timeline (for instance, when Sunndi went from being a County to a Kingdom).
